Last week saw John Locke (man of faith) rifling through the library of the bunker and holding a copy of a book called Owl Creek Bridge. Now, presumably this is a copy of An Occurence At Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce (who famously disappeared without trace in Mexico).
Get this: it's a story of a man who is being hanged and who, after the rope snaps, escapes his captors and returns home, only to realise that he is dead, and IT'S ALL A FANTASY, IMAGINED WHILE HE WAS DYING. It inspired the film Jacob's Ladder.
Also in an earlier episode we see the bunker has a copy of Flann O'Brien's Third Policeman - a book about a man who DOESN'T REALISE HE'S DEAD. Getting the idea?
